Daddy Time

Neil was able to take off the entire time his parents were here, so Julia got in a lot of good daddy time.

 

Thanks Aunt Amy!!!

Along with Neil's Christmas gift, Aunt Amy shipped Julia a big box of clothes.  Julia was pretty excited about it.  Thanks Aunt Amy!!!

Learning on the Jenny Jumpup

Our friends Bill and Kathy Wilson gave Julia a Jenny Jump up.  She struggled some on her first attempt with it.

 

 

 

 

Julia's First Christmas

We started out with some pancakes and whipped cream, thanks to the whipped creamer Raquel got a couple of years ago from Dad for Christmas.

Here's a Julia studying the manger scene.

Some shots of fun between presents and dinner.

 

We enjoyed a great dinner.

 

 Julia even tried to drink a little.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

 It was a great Christmas.  Thanks for coming and sharing it with us Mom and Dad!!!

Julia and Grandma and Grandpa Hanson

Neil's Mom and Dad visited for Christmas to see Julia.  We had a great time together, and Julia really enjoyed getting to meet her Grandma and Grandpa.  Below are some shots of our time together.

We got out to the Museum of Natural Science and lunch at a nice Greek restaurant.  Here are Mom and Dad at lunch.

 

We also got to have lunch with our good friends the Hasketts.

Girls Night at the Chocolate Bar

It was great to visit with Anne and Svetlana. These girls have not changed a bit - still lots of fun

Here is Julia keeping an eye on the action

We Love the Beach

Galveston is on a short distance from our home so we love to go have luch and check out the waves when we have a chance. Julia seems to enjoy it too.

She is completely intrigued by the camera
